SERVPRO Uses Advanced Fire Restoration Methods to Reverse the Effects of Soot and Smoke

After a fire incident, you might have difficulty identifying many items in your Chicago home because they are caked with soot, or their surfaces have streaks or other stains. Your first consideration might be to throw damaged items away. However, professional cleanup can help restore them.

Since soot has different effects on various materials, you need to seek help from people who can offer well-rounded fire cleanup services for your Chicago home, ensuring you minimize the financial and sentimental loss following the incident. SERVPRO can help you manage your fire loss better since our crews can clean wood, glass, ceramic, metallic, or any other material affected by fire residues.

Cleaning helps achieve various objectives like:

• Fire damage restoration
• Smoke remediation
• Water & fire damage restorations

The outcome of a cleaning exercise mostly depends on the methods used. On the other hand, the methods chosen depend on the type or location of the affected material. Our SERVPRO technicians combine a wide range of cleaning approaches to realize the desired objective. For instance, on the exterior surfaces of the building, we can readily use pressure washing to strip off residues without harming the materials. For interior surfaces, we opt for alternatives such as using chemical sponges since they do not introduce excessive moisture. 

Specialized cleaning methods may also be necessary and include:

• Blast cleaning with soda blasters
• Immersion cleaning with an ultrasonic cleaner
• Cleaning with specially formulated chemical agents

SERVPRO of Marquette Park / West Lawn / Ford City has considerable experience handling fire cleanup in properties removing any soiling, “Like it never even happened.”
